Designing, specifying, and installing roofing systems remains one of the most important aspects of creating a durable, energy-efficient, safe, and resilient structure. Today, there are more choices than ever when it comes to types and styles of roofing systems, and being able to specify confidently is critical for architects and designers. This academy will provide an overview of the state of roofing systems, including new technologies and materials being developed to address uplift, solar exposure, and water intrusion. Roofing options need not be confusing, and this academy covers everything from fleece membranes and urethane adhesives to exterior VOCs, PVC roofing, white EPDM, and the critical importance of understanding roofing wind speed ratings, using and mastering electronic leak detection devices and warranties.
